When handling painted steel, care should be taken to prevent scratching of material. Clean gloves should be worn at all times
to prevent a reaction with salts found on bare skin. Installers should wear rubber sole shoes to keep from scuffing material
while walking on the roof.
Handling of individual panels should be done carefully and properly to avoid bending or damaging. Panels should be carried
by grasping the edge of the panel so that the panel is vertical to the ground. The panel should not be carried horizontal to the
ground as this could cause the panel to buckle or bend in the center.
Normally, individual panels can be handled by people placed every 6'-0" to 8'-0" along the length of the panel.
